Lemon Verbena scented Dryer Sachets, and a candle in the uplifting, invigorating scent of Sugared Mint -- just the kick you'll need as an aromatherapeutic (how's that for a $60,000 word!) backdrop to your cleaning days.

You'll be as beautiful as June Cleaver from Leave-It-To-Beaver as you go about the day's tasks!

And because all cleaning and no R&R makes Suzy a very cranky gal...

once you have your home all spic-n-span and smelling lemony fresh, it'll be time for some YOU-TIME at the beach or park!

Load up this jute tote with all the necessities for kicking back -- your favorite magazine, your shades, snacks (CHOCOLATE??) a drink, & your iPod, then top off your pretty little head with this classic raffia hat and you're set!

And not to be forgotten, I give you "100 Wishes" - a roll of 100 of the sweetest retro-style tickets to dole out as you please to whomever you please...

And as the tag on the roll says

"If I had 100 wishes, I would give them all to you"

those are my thoughts to you, too, my blogging friends.

In order to be officially entered in the giveaway for ALL THE ITEMS YOU SEE ABOVE (NOT JUST ONE OF THEM!), simply leave me comment on this post -- that's it!

(If you leave a comment as an "anonymous" I will also need you to send me a quick email so that I will have some way to contact you if you win!)

I'll wrap up the drawing & announce the winner late in the afternoon on Wednesday, May 27th.

If you'd like an extra entry into the drawing, just mention the giveaway on your blog with a link back to this post. If you do this, please be sure to email me letting me know you did, so I can give you credit! :)

Now...on to "Music Monday" for Memorial Day...

The song I chose is one I've loved so much for almost maybe 15 years! It is called "What Did He Die For" by Twila Paris. Unfortunately, I cannot provide the actual video here on my blog (something about the author not allowing the video to be embedded on other sites, or something...), so I can only give you a link to it on YouTube if you care to pop over and see it. CLICK HERE TO SEE IT

Wishing you MUCH relaxation with your family today and reflection on the reason for the holiday.

Thank you ALL, again, for being by blog-buddies -- I adore each of you!
